Early socialization happens in our home with calm routines, gentle handling, and plenty of human contact.
Careful matches
We learn about your lifestyle so each puppy can join a family prepared for the joys of a Basset.
Always connected
Our relationship does not end at pickup. We are here for questions through every stage of life.

The Basset Hound
A big heart on four very short legs.
Bassets are gentle, companionable, funny, and wonderfully particular. They bring a relaxed rhythm to a home and reward patient families with remarkable loyalty.
“The best Basset homes make room for a little stubbornness and a lot of love.”
